Institutional report - Aortic and aneurysmal Translumbar treatment of type II endoleaks after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (original) (raw)

Abstract

The modality of treatment and the appropriate time point to treat type II endoleaks after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (EVAR) remain controversial issues. The purpose of the present study was to assess the efficacy of translumbar embolization of type II endoleaks after endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm repair. Eighty-four consecutive patients after EVAR were analyzed for the onset
